The promotional image features actor Robert Boulter as young Luke Skywalker during his duel with Darth Vader on Bespin.

Based on information from MakingStarWars.net and StarWarsNewsNet.com it appears this version of Luke would have appeared during Rey’s “Forceback” where she would have witnessed Luke and Vader’s duel on Bespin (you can actually read this in the TFA novel). Her vision would have followed the Skywalker Saber’s journey from when Luke lost it on Bespin, to the fall of Ben Solo, to Kylo and the Knights of Ren obtaining the saber from the village they slaughter, to finally Maz stealing the saber from Kylo.

I’ve always loved alternate ideas for films, Star Wars or not. So naturally I’m completely fascinated by this version of Rey’s vision and the image of young Luke. I know TFA went through quite a bit of changes throughout it’s development and threads of this alternative take are present in the finished product. However, I still wish the film would have explored these other ideas a bit more.

Credit to EW for sharing the new information that includes concept art, names of rides, and the park’s new theme composed by John Williams.

Take a look at this great video that features the park’s theme. It’s beautifully composed and a wonderful melody.

The music has little hints of themes from the sequel trilogy. And while much of the park itself is still under construction, certain aspects can be made out and it’s one of the best looks we’ve gotten.

The official names for the two new attractions and a video for each were also released. The attractions will be called: Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance.

Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run will put guests in the cockpit of the Falcon as they make a daring escape from Batuu. The ride will feature three unique roles for each passenger that are essential for the mission’s success.

Rise of the Resistance will give guests firsthand experience in deep-space dogfights between the First Order and the Resistance. The video was shot inside of the ride, where visitors can also explore a hangar bay and control deck of a First Order Star Destroyer. Guests will also come face-to-face with Kylo Ren at one point in the ride.

Finally, new details on how guests will interact with the hotel at Disney World were also released. Guests will arrive at the hotel and board a shuttle for a simulated ride to their resort located in space. The hotel itself will be completely immersive with all of the windows displaying starry exteriors. The immersive experience continues with characters and creatures from the Star Wars Universe inhabiting resort.

Below, concept art shows a shuttle transporting guests from Earth to their hotel in space and how the pod will dock onto the larger ship. The concept art of a shuttle’s interior is also shown below.

Galaxy’s Edge will open in Anaheim summer of 2019 and in Orlando the following fall.

During a conference call, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that their streaming service is officially called Disney+. He also highlighted the new Star Wars project and explained that the series will be a prequel to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with Diego Luna reprising his role as Cassian Andor. The series is currently without a name or release date.

Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced today that Lucasfilm is in development on a second Star Wars live-action series for Disney+, the Company’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service. The series, which will go into production next year, follows the adventures of rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Diego Luna will reprise the role of Andor. “Going back to the Star Wars universe is very special for me,” said Luna. “I have so many memories of the great work we did together and the relationships I made throughout the journey. We have a fantastic adventure ahead of us, and this new exciting format will give us the chance to explore this character more deeply.”

The rousing spy thriller will explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire. A release date for the series has not yet been announced. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for the latest updates.

Production on the series will begin next year. Currently, the show does not have an official showrunner or creative team. As of now, there’s no word on Alan Tudyk returning as K-2SO.

Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios appear to be developing live-action series for the Disney+ platform in similar fashions. It’s unclear if scope of this series will be limited in nature, as is the case with the Marvel shows, or if it will run for multiple seasons.

This announcement shows Lucasfilm is willing to tell almost any story in the live-action format. It opens the door to the possibility of finishing the Solo: A Star Wars Story storyline on the streaming service or turning the much rumored Kenobi movie into a series. Disney seems to be sparing no expense for their streaming service and hopefully that means we’ll have much more Star Wars content on the way.

http://www.port-haven.com/articles/the-mandalorian-production-photo-and-director-list/#respondSat, 06 Oct 2018 20:10:02 +0000http://www.port-haven.com/?p=3414...]]>StarWars.com has released the first production photo from, TheMandalorian. This gives us a first look at the live-action series developed for the Disney Streaming Service. In addition, they have revealed five directors who are set to work on the project.

Production on the first Star Wars live-action streaming series has begun! After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic. The series will be written and executive produced by Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau, as previously announced, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode. Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok). It will be executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist will serve as co-executive producer. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for updates.

When I first heard this announcement, I was blown away by the amount of talented people working on the show. With names like Filoni, Howard, and Waititi my expectations skyrocketed. I was also extremely happy to hear Dave Filoni has a major role in the series, serving as executive producer. I had a hunch he would be heavily involved.

Overall my excitement for this show is through the roof. I’ve always been intrigued by Mandalorians but wanted to explore characters from that world more. We’ve gotten great Mandalorian stories throughout CloneWars and Rebels but they were never the central focus. I’m completely sold with the Mandalorian focus and the talent behind the camera. Especially with Dave Filoni, I love that guy.

The project is title, The Mandalorian. It is set to follow a lone Mandalorian warrior after the fall of the Empire.

I personally love the premise. It sounds like we’re getting a true Star Wars western and I could not be more excited! This also confirms the widespread rumors of Favreau’s series centering around Mandalorians. Favreau has history with Mandalore as he played Pre Vizsla in The Clone Wars. I was looking forward to this show but the premise alone has got me fully on board.
